For a vegetarian version, omit the pancetta and use vegetable broth instead of chicken stock. Consider adding a touch of smoked paprika to mimic the smoky flavor of the pancetta. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can blend about 2 cups of the soup with an immersion blender before adding the pasta. This will create a creamier texture. Cannellini beans can vary in texture. If yours seem particularly firm, you can simmer them for a longer period to soften them further. This soup is even better the next day! The flavors deepen and meld together beautifully after sitting in the refrigerator overnight.
